Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) that had shut down its purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant at Dahej for a brief period owing to increased water salinity has not only restarted its Dahej PTA plant but is ramping up production to full capacity.
During the shutdown of its Dahej PTA plant, RIL had ensured that PTA supplies to downstream customers from its Hazira and Patalganga. Now, the customers will be getting PTA from all three locations.
In India, the current total PTA capacity, including that of RIL, is 6 million tones of which RIL has a total PTA capacity of 4.2 million tonnes per year.
Another 1.2 million tonnes of PTA capacity will be added in the current year itself. However, the total PTA demand in India is around 5 million tonnes.
As India has sufficient PTA to meet the requirements of its polyester industry, the surplus PTA is being exported.
